Abstract

Field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2021-22 and 2022-23 at Organic Farming Unit (Agronomy), Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur, India. The experiment comprised of three sowing methods and eight nutrient management practices thereby involving 24 treatment combinations which was replicated four times in split plot design. The FIRB sowing method recorded higher mean dry matter partitioning in leaves (8.12 %) and stem (32.37%) which was significantly higher over zero tillage sowing. Among nutrient management practices application of 50 % RDN through FYM as basal + 25 % RDN with 1st irrigation + 25 % RDN with 2nd irrigation + jeevamrit @ 500 l ha-1 at sowing and 1st irrigation + panchagavya @ 5 % at booting stage was recorded higher mean dry matter partitioning in leaves (8.37 %) and stem (33.31 %).
